Forces of Temptation

The temperature is slowly and silently losing.

This makes Nanzhou more clear-headed.

He slipped out of bed quietly and quietly, walked to the door, and pressed the door handle.

At the same time, the door opened.

Squeak—

In the face of danger, Nanzhou's animal instincts prevailed smoothly.

He was convinced that they had once again suffered a downfall.

Although he didn't see anything yet.

The feeling at this moment has something in common with the feeling when he was in the deep sea.

Because the distance between the hotel and the hotel is too narrow, one is lack of sunshine, and the other is too awkward, so I have to come up with some gimmicks and work with travel agencies to scour the tourists' wool.

So the hotel made a well-shaped design to remedy the situation.

The hotel corridor has rooms on one side and windows on the other.

On the first floor, a green space of tens of square meters has been opened, and some tropical flowers and plants have been planted.

In fact, because they are too lazy to spend money on maintenance, tropical flowers and plants have already died.

They are all attracted by the night lights in the hallway.

Small pieces of dark yellow insect liquid make people not willing to stop and admire the withered and decaying flowers and plants outside.

After opening the door, Nanzhou faced a dirty window and herself in the window.

The window at the end of the hallway on the window was not closed.

The wind blew his sleepless hair a little.

The wind had a terrifying chill.

The old corridor light bulbs added a thin, strange red to the dim yellow.

Such subtle changes in body sensation and light source are invisible to ordinary people like Li Yinhang.

In her opinion, everything was unpredictable except for the dim light in the hallway.

…This kind of no warning, but a different kind of terror.

Nanzhou stood at the door, hooked her head for a while, closed the door, picked up the anti-theft chain, slipped it into the groove, and locked the door completely.

In a very flat tone, he said something creepy: "Something has come in here."

Jiang Fang frowned indistinctly.

Seeing that Nan Zhou was so serious, Li Yinhang's voice was almost suppressed by fear: "What... something?"

Nanzhou: "I don't know."

Li Yinhang stood up: "Then let's run out. On the street..."

Nan Zhou suddenly said, "Stay away from the window."

Li Yinhang always listens to people's persuasion and eats his fill.

After hearing this, she didn't have time to look back, she jumped out of bed immediately, and walked quickly away from the window.

When she was a little farther away, she turned her head back with lingering fears and checked carefully.

Her own reflection was reflected in the window, looking a little frightened.

Li Yinhang touched his face.

The self in the window also did the same with her.

…Nothing seems to be out of the ordinary.

When she breathed a sigh of relief, she heard Nan Zhou say, "You in the window are moving."

Li Yinhang's face changed suddenly, he didn't dare to look closely, and took two steps back.

Nan Zhou encouraged: "It's okay. You and him, come to me."

When Li Yinhang heard this, he immediately moved closer to Nanzhou.

Jiang Fang sat cross-legged on the bed, looked at Nanzhou, and said, "You..."

He didn't finish his words.

In the corridor behind Nanzhou, there was a harsh cracking sound of glass.

Started by this voice, Li Yinhang who was only a few steps away from Nanzhou stopped subconsciously.

The next second, something more terrifying happened.

"Don't come here."

Nanzhou's cold and flat voice sounded outside the door.

He said: "Stay away from him. He's fake."

Li Yinhang's scalp exploded, and he took a few steps backwards, and he even lost his ability to breathe.

Who is the ghost?

Who is real?

Who is fake?

Is it standing in front of her in the room, or is it knocking on the door?

In front of her, Nan Zhou, who was indistinguishable from the real and the fake, moved his lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

Li Yinhang stared at him, thinking he would give an explanation.

And this Nanzhou suddenly burst into an exaggerated and creepy smile without warning.

The blood on Li Yinhang's face instantly faded.

Nan Zhou obviously did not go out, when did the ghost exchange with him? !

She was backing up, almost back to the window.

And in the window, her back turned back slightly, looking back at her sullenly.

Li Yinhang noticed something was wrong, and was about to turn his head when he suddenly heard an earth-shattering sound from the door.

—Boom!

Nanzhou outside the door was silent, kicking the entire door, including the door shaft, door leaf, and door chain, with one foot.

When the fallen door panel pressed against the back of the "Nanzhou" inside the door, it disappeared like a gust of wind.

Nan Zhou dodged into the house, grabbed the door panel, pushed the door back to its original position cleanly, and pushed the broken door shaft and the door leaf together again with one hand.

After manually closing the door, Nan Zhou took two quick steps, but a figure appeared in the corner of the eye.

The bathroom mirror and the bathroom door are opposite.

Nan Zhou was exposed to the mirror.

He stopped for a while and observed for a while with his peripheral vision.

There is nothing unusual about him in the mirror, and he is also peeping at himself.

Nan Zhou looked away and walked forward.

...But in the mirror he stood there and calmly drew a knife from his waist.

The figure in the mirror suddenly disappeared.

Behind Nanzhou, a phantom with a sharp knife appeared out of thin air, raised it with a smile, and slammed it towards the back of Nanzhou's neck!

The blade drew a small arc in the air.

Just as the blade was about to sink into Nanzhou's neck, Nanzhou suddenly turned around and held the dagger he had taken out from the warehouse with his backhand.

The phantom's hand was shaken, and the sharp knife almost came out.

And when Nan Zhou turned the dagger around in his palm and slashed at the throat of the false "Nan Zhou" at the speed of lightning, it disappeared into the void again.

The room regained a seemingly peaceful calm.

Nanzhou is not so regretful when it misses.

He looked down at his hand and slowly took stock in his heart.

Just now, he just looked at his own figure reflected in the opposite window, and in a daze, he switched places with the mirror image.

I became a shadow inside the door.

…while standing in the window.

He closed the door as he watched.

Fortunately, the effect of this drop head does not blur the boundary between the real and the illusory, nor does it have the function of directly flattening the three-dimensional into two-dimensional.

He is real and not compatible with windows.

Before the strong sense of suffocation spread, he easily smashed the window, as if the person in the painting broke the fence and escaped from it.

This time, the ghost descending is completely different from the ghost descending last time, who single-mindedly sucked them into the altar and soaked them into a fat sea.

It's fiercer, tougher, and more unpredictable.

The two encounters just now made Nan Zhou feel some of the characteristics of this ghost.

One, as long as you get close to anything that reflects a reflection, it will appear and assassinate the other self by surprise.

Second, it can replace the position of people and shadows without knowing it.

Third, when it is fatally attacked, it will disappear immediately to protect itself.

These three points are enough for it to play infinite tactics.

Not to mention…

He just broke the glass and the door, which should have caused a commotion.

But so far, the hallway has been eerily quiet.

No feedback on his actions.

There is no complaint from the hotel guests, nor the person in charge to investigate.

In other words, this ghost descended them into a special space, and a shadow could replace the space of people at any time.

They can't turn to anyone for help.

Li Yinhang is now almost unsure whether what is in front of her is the real Nanzhou, so she doesn't speak, she just leans against the bed, not daring to stand or sit.

Nan Zhou also saw her fear, so she was not in a hurry to approach her, but just stood there.

Nanjingxing seemed to sense Li Yinhang's anxiety, jumped three times and two times, slipped to the side of the window, bit the corner of the curtain, wrapped himself inside the curtain, and did not let his shadow appear At the window, he quickly rushed forward blindly, swiped to close the curtains, and then jumped, grabbed Li Yinhang's shoulder, followed her shoulder, ran all the way down, and hugged her thumb obediently. .

This bit of warmth made Li Yinhang's frantic heartbeat gradually return to normal.

It doesn't feel good to have a heartbeat that hits my throat.

She forcibly suppressed her fear and asked softly, "...is that you?"

Without waiting for Nan Zhou to reply, Jiang Fang took it: "It's him."

With Jiang Fang's gold certification, Li Yinhang's expression improved.

Nanzhou also seized the opportunity and looked at the South Pole Star, which was standing up like a hedgehog with soft fur on its back and entered a state of all-round alert.

Antarctica seemed to feel something, and looked up at Nanzhou.

Nanzhou dipped the honey water in the cup, and briefly sketched the pattern he had seen on the yellow clay jar on the bedside table.

He ordered: "Nanjing Star, look for something similar to this pattern nearby."

"Whether it's mobile or stationary, look for it."

"After finding it, don't break it, just scratch the pattern on it."

Li Yinhang's proposal to "leave the hotel and go outside" was considered by Nan Zhou.

The opponent refuses to communicate and learn, uses the head down, and repeats the trick, must have the idea of ​​​​killing them with one blow.

The most urgent task is to find the source of the ghost descending with the head-descending spell, erase and destroy the spell pattern on it, and make the ghost descend ineffective.

As long as Jiang Fang and Li Yinhang are stuffed into the warehouse, there is no problem with taking them out.

However, once on the street, there will be more variables than there are now.

Street windows, or even a pool of water illuminated by moonlight, may create a new self.

This will slow him down considerably.

Instead of finding it yourself, it is better to leave it to the more flexible South Pole Star.

At this moment, a breeze blew through the unclosed window and opened the curtain a little.

When the shadow of the South Pole star was reflected in the window, as expected, a faint-eyed "South Pole Star" appeared inside the glass, and a bright and sharp star appeared towards the oncoming South Pole star. teeth.

The South Pole Star was unreasonable.

Shadow obviously didn't expect the South Pole Star to reach this point, and subconsciously dodged, the South Pole Star fit and smashed the window, flying to the opposite window rail in the shattered glass ballast.

And when its figure appeared in the window, the seventeen or eighteen Antarctic stars reflected in the fragmented windows of the alley jumped out, like a nest of bloodthirsty carnivorous mice, Go straight to the South Pole.

Nanjing Star didn't intend to entangle with them at all, she jumped up flexibly, jumped to the roof of the opposite building, and disappeared with this team of "Nanjing Stars" in the vast cold moon among.

Li Yinhang was frightened, and his mind was running fast.

Looking at the place where the South Pole star disappeared, she noticed a trace of anomalies that she had not taken in her heart before.

…Antarctica, is it too smart?

From Yi Shuige, the creator of NJ Star, Li Yinhang learned that Nan Zhou and NJ Star are both products of the game "Gravity".

And it is a little more special than Nanzhou.

Nanzhou is a virtual character in the story.

And it's pure data.

It was a total accident.

Since it broke away from its original orbit and was sent to the Never Town by "Mr. Apple Tree", it broke away from the shackles of data and obtained a new destiny.

As a data product, it magically learns to think and has feelings.

This was very impressive to Yi Shuige, and he even tried to ask Nanzhou for the South Pole Star, but of course it failed.

Li Yinhang knew that Nan Zhou had no memory of leaving "Never".

In the years when he lost his memory, the South Pole Star was always by his side, and when he reappeared on the bus, it was also by his side.

It is even smart enough to understand human speech, understand layout, know advance and retreat—

While she was thinking about it, there was a sudden knock on the door again.

Outside is Cao Shuguang's hurried voice: "Mr. Nan, Noah, open the door, it's us!"

The three people in the house did not move.

No one can be sure whether it is a phantom or reality that is clamoring outside the house.

However, the door that has been damaged once can no longer withstand such a strong slap.

The door was shaky under such frequent impacts.

In the rapid knocking sound, the people inside the door could not tell whether it was a fist or a hilt held by the monster in the mirror.
